Just a brilliant movie that seeks to explain Berlusconi (him, him), why people want to get next to him, why people want to get away from him and what he ment to (some) of the people.
Sorrentino is on top form with extravagant dance/fantasy pieces, biting symbolism and a superb performance by Tony Servillo at its centre.
Wonderful production values, from the costumes, lighting, sets and supporting cast.
A must see, that can summed up by one of the end scenes when Berlusconi finally lights his volcano garden ornament that he has been threatening to do all film and all we see is a sad display that makes us feel the same way about him, him. 'Is that all there is to it?'
